"Liverpool will look to maintain their perfect start in the league when they travel to Turf Moor on Sunday to take on Burnley who are currently planted in 14th with 1 win against 2 defeats. This is not always a straightforward fixture for the Reds but they should be expected to come through this one. Record signing Alexander Isak is training with the first team and is in contention to make an appearance."
"Alisson is a given as always in goal whenever he is an option for selection. Defensively gets a bit interesting as Frimpong did return to training on Thursday, but it might be too soon to see him start. However, even if he does start, he should only be on the pitch for 50-60 minutes before I see Szoboszlai being shifted to fullback to see the match out."
Players returned from the first international break without major injury scares and will reconvene in England ahead of a Premier League trip to Turf Moor. Burnley sit 14th with one win and two defeats, making the fixture tricky but winnable for Liverpool. Record signing Alexander Isak is training with the first team and is in contention for an appearance, while Jeremie Frimpong has returned to training after a hamstring issue. The projected lineup places Alisson in goal, a back four of Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk and Kerkez, midfield trio Gravenberch, Szoboszlai and Wirtz, and forwards Salah, Ekitike and Gakpo. Szoboszlai may be shifted to fullback if Frimpong requires an early substitution, and Gravenberch is expected to limit Burnley counterattacks.
